Tobias Thomsen Details Serious Injuries After Poole Speedway Crash

His hospital update signals a long recovery with racing hopes unresolved.

Overview

  • Thomsen remains in Poole Hospital with injuries the Plymouth Gladiators called serious but not life-threatening after a Heat One crash at a BSN Series meeting.
  • In a Facebook update from hospital, he said surgeons stabilized a broken femur with a titanium rod running from his knee to his hip.
  • He reported three small fractures near an eye, three broken ribs, a punctured lung, and a small brain hemorrhage that doctors described as not serious.
  • The crash began when he tangled with Poole’s Richard Lawson and both struck the air fence, leading to about an hour of trackside treatment.
  • Supporters raised £1,387.95 in bucket collections as both clubs and peers sent messages of support, and he called it a racing accident with hopes to race again.
